Default Horizontal HF Loop

Tnx all who replied.
Kevin, have decided to try to stay away from "looping" the house since it's
guttered and other electronics inside.
Now planning to try a triangular "loop" between 2 sides of house and a
single support about 75' away - would make the total about 220' of wire, fed
at one corner, about 30' AGL. (When it gets below 100 outside....)

Anyone here tried an HF horizonal loop built around residence? (either
attached under eaves or to trees very close by)...
Did it work? Affects of antenna on residence electronics and vice versa?
(100 watt TX)
Would plan to use on several bands w/antenna tuner & open wire feed.
Tnx for comments...
